Kabaddi player bitten by puppy he was rescuing, dies of rabies
Brijesh Solanki, a 22-year-old state-level kabaddi player, died of rabies in Uttar Pradesh's Bulandshahr months after he was bitten by a puppy he was rescuing. "Brijesh mistook the pain in his arm for a regular kabaddi injury. The bite seemed minor...so he didn't take the [rabies] vaccine," his coach said. Videos of Brijesh showed him writhing and howling in pain.
